About The Artwork

‘You may consider this work a ‘wall-hung sculpture’ rather than a painting.’ My curved canvases are worked on as three dimensional objects. However, rather than considering the interplay between solid and space as a sculpturist does, my forethought is to return to the 'flat two dimensional picture plane’. Working in this way creates reciprocal and distinct cavities as one expression. An aesthetic that is only possible through the advent of a curve. So when finally, we do observe it on a two dimensional flattened picture plane (the switch from 3D to 2D), a different aesthetic emerges. Inspired by current scientific understanding of our universe and the way nature itself could be. This work aims to reflect a truth about the human condition — that we are tied to a two dimensional universe yet entangled with all its probabilities in the vastness of infinite space. This particular piece was then mounted onto a blue acrylic-mirror back panel with 12 mm spacers. Enabling the synthetic canvas to appear to float. Also allowing for a rooms light conditions (natural or otherwise) to interact with the relief work and reflect from the mirror throughout the day.

I’m re-imagining our universe — entangled in the void of spacetime.’ My curved canvases are a way of initiating events. Distributing distinct expressions and reciprocal marks to the surface geometry, from all sides and angles, in ways that cannot be achieved on the flat picture plane - yet the results of the work are always presented in the flat form. A metaphor for how we observe. Since 2004, I've been evolving this aesthetic thought. A style of abstraction that is deeply rooted in the present context of a multi-dimensional universe and the way nature itself could be.
